UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

GEORGE J. GLINE, OF GOSHEN, INDIANA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO WILLIAM B.LEHMAN, OF SAME PLACE.

ROAD-CART.

. SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 363,727, dated May24,1887.

Application filed November 27, 1866. Serial No. 220,068. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE J. OLINE, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of Goshen, in the county of Elkhart and State of Indiana,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Road-Carts; and Ido declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanyingdrawings, and to letters consists in the construction'andnovel combiprovided with eyes F G at its ends.

H I designate the seat-rails, which are pivoted at their front ends tothe inner faces of the thills in rear of the cross-bar 0, therebyforming levers of the seat-bars.

At about the middle of their length the seat-rails H I are connected tothe eyes F G of the concave spring E by shackles L M. The seat N issecured to the upper edges of the seat-rails, and extends back to therear ends of said rails. The seat-rails preferably converge from frontto rear, and are slightly convexon their outer faces and concave ontheir inner faces. This is not an essential feature, however, asthey maybe straight and converging, or straight and parallel.

I am aware that it is not new to hinge a seat-frame of a sulky to thethills thereof, and that such seats have been supported by a springbearing upon the axle, and therefore do not claim such devices, broadly.

Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, 1s-

The combination, with'the thills connected by the cross-bar O, curveddownwardly at their ends and secured rigidly to the axle, of theseat-rails pivoted at their front ends to the inner faces of the thills,and provided on their upper faces, at their rear portions, with a seat,and the semi-elliptic spring secured to the upper face of the axle, andconnected at its upturned ends, through its eyes F G, by shackles L M,to the pivoted seat-rails, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE JNOLINE.
